Kusi

Kusi, a considerable tributary of the Ganges, rises in the Nepal Himalayas, to the north-west of Mount Everest, and flows generally south, in a rapid stream, with a great body of water, to the main river. Its length is about 325 miles, and it is navigable, although with difficulty, by boats of ten tons, to the Nepal frontier. Its bed is constantly shifting to the westward, and its floods have turned wide tracts into sand and jungle.
